I met last week with Bob Dallari, our Seminole County Commissioner, along with the President of Riverside HOA, our neighbors across CR 419.  We discussed several options for improving the deplorable traffic safety problem at our main entrance on Sanctuary Drive and 419.  Unfortunately, it’s not looking very positive for a traffic light, but the county will be working with Oviedo to look at funding options–realistically, though, I don’t see either coming up with the cash soon, given the prevailing budget situation.  Other options include activating the existing signal at the fire station and timing it with the light at the school to allow better flow in and out of the two developments and changing the lanes on 419 to limit each side to right turn exits only.  Neither choice does the trick, but I’m sure we would all agree the lane change on 419 would cause more problems than it would solve, so I won’t be supporting that option.  We’ll be meeting with the county folks again at the end of March and I’ll keep you all posted on how things are going.

 Bob Howard, President (3/3/2010)
